Fantasy Football Community contributor Nick, like many, is still waiting for his points updated from the Ecuador match. Many were hoping for quick and efficient point updates from FIFA’s World Cup Fantasy game but that wasn’t to be.

Andy highlighted one of the key moments in the game. Ecuador took advantage from a poor defensive performance by Qatar. One of those players who contributed was the Ecuador captain and striker Enner Valencia (£6.5m).
Enner Valencia earned a penalty after the goalkeeper brought him down. Valenica stepped up to put the penalty away. His success continued as he headed home from a whipped cross to make it 2-0. Valencia’s brace helped towards Ecuador’s first win of the tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Community contributor also highlighted Qatar as a team to target. Thir poor display could indicate targeting them from a fantasy football perspective a very good idea moving forward.
Qatar face Netherlands in Matchday 2. Many within the community could be looking to double or triple up on Netherlands assets and may even consider utilising the captaincy feature against the hosts as the tournament progresses.

Harry Kane claimed the assist for the third goal. Another popular World Cup Fantasy asset was England left back Luke Shaw who also picked up an assist. Shaw continues to prove he is a fantastic international fantasy asset.
